Question
A 3.5-year-old child was taking Cefdinir dispersible tablets twice a day, one tablet each time, but the child took three tablets at once, totaling five tablets in a day. What adverse effects could this have on the body?
Answer
Cefdinir dispersible tablets are a broad-spectrum antibiotic medication. If a child needs to increase the dose, it should not exceed the recommended dosage. It is strictly advised to follow the instructions of a doctor, pharmacist, or medication leaflet when taking the drug. If an overdose occurs, attention should be paid to drinking plenty of water, induce vomiting, and promote the metabolism and excretion of the medication.
